    What does LED stand for?

    • Low Energy Device

    • Light Energy Diode

    • Low Emitting Device

    • Light Emitting Diode

    Correct Answer
    A. Light Emitting Diode
    Explanation

    What is the value of a resistor with a color scheme of Brown, Green, Red, Silver? (order from 0 to 9: black,brown,red,orange,yellow,green,blue,violet,gray,white)

    • 1.6kOhms +-10%

    • 1.5 kOhms +- 10%

    • 2.6 kOhms +- 10%

    • 1.5 kOhms +- 5%

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.5 kOhms +- 10%
    Explanation
    The color scheme of Brown, Green, Red corresponds to the values 1, 5, and 2 respectively. The fourth band, Silver, represents a multiplier of 0.01. Therefore, the value of the resistor can be calculated as (15 * 0.01) kOhms, which is equal to 0.15 kOhms or 150 Ohms. The tolerance of +-10% indicates that the actual value of the resistor can be 10% higher or lower than the stated value. So, the correct answer is 1.5 kOhms +- 10%.

    Express the number 469200000 in Scientific Notation.

    • 469.2 x 10^6

    • 469.2 M

    • 4.692 x 10^8

    • 4.692 M

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.692 x 10^8
    Explanation
    The number 469200000 can be expressed in scientific notation as 4.692 x 10^8. In scientific notation, the number is written as a decimal between 1 and 10 (in this case, 4.692) multiplied by 10 raised to a certain power (in this case, 8). This notation is used to represent very large or very small numbers more conveniently.

    What is the value of a resistor with a color scheme of Green, Orange, Brown, Gold? (order from 0 to 9: black,brown,red,orange,yellow,green,blue,violet,gray,white)

    • 6300 Ohms +-5%

    • 4300 Ohms +- 10%

    • 53 Ohms +- 10%

    • 530 Ohms +- 5%

    Correct Answer
    A. 530 Ohms +- 5%
    Explanation
    The resistor with a color scheme of Green, Orange, Brown, Gold has a value of 530 Ohms with a tolerance of +- 5%. The first two bands, Green and Orange, represent the digits 5 and 3 respectively. The third band, Brown, represents the multiplier 10^1. The fourth band, Gold, represents the tolerance of +- 5%. Therefore, the resistor has a value of 53 * 10^1 Ohms, which simplifies to 530 Ohms. The tolerance of +- 5% indicates that the actual value of the resistor can vary by 5% from the stated value of 530 Ohms.

    Which of the following should be used to extinguish an electrical fire?

    • Class A fire extinguisher

    • Class B fire extinguisher

    • Class C fire extinguisher

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Class C fire extinguisher
    Explanation
    A Class C fire extinguisher should be used to extinguish an electrical fire because it is specifically designed to handle fires involving energized electrical equipment. This type of extinguisher contains non-conductive agents that can safely smother the fire without conducting electricity, reducing the risk of electrocution. Using a Class A or Class B fire extinguisher on an electrical fire can be dangerous as it may cause the fire to spread or result in electric shock. Therefore, the correct choice is a Class C fire extinguisher.

    Express the number 0.054 Amps in SI Notation.

    • 54 mA

    • 5.4 x 10^(-2)A

    • 54 x 10^(-3)A

    • 54 kA

    Correct Answer
    A. 54 mA
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 54 mA. This is because "mA" represents milliamperes, which is a unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). 54 mA is equivalent to 0.054 Amps.

    What's the best definition of SI notation?Numbers entered as a number from one to ten multiplied by a power of ten.

    • A floating point system in which numbers are expressed as products consisting of a number greater than one multiplied by an appropriate power of ten that is some multiple of three.

    • Numbers entered as a number from one to ten multiplied by a power of ten.

    • Abbreviation of System International, a system of practical units based on the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, mole, and candela.

    Correct Answer
    A. Abbreviation of System International, a system of practical units based on the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, mole, and candela.
    Explanation
    SI notation refers to the abbreviation of System International, which is a system of practical units based on various fundamental quantities such as meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, mole, and candela. This system provides a standardized and consistent way of measuring and expressing physical quantities.

    Express the number 68100 Volts in Engineering Notation.

    • 68.1 kV

    • 68.1 x 10^3 V

    • 6.81 x 10^4 V

    • 68.1 x 10^(-3) V

    Correct Answer
    A. 68.1 x 10^3 V
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 68.1 x 10^3 V. Engineering notation is used to express numbers in a more convenient and standardized format. In this case, the number 68100 volts is expressed as 68.1 x 10^3 V, where the decimal point is moved three places to the left and the exponent of 10 indicates the number of decimal places moved.
